NARCh College Division - Day Two

Friday had some great games, and seedings were not finalized until the last Round Robin game was complete. The game between GPCIHL and ECRHA showed that ECRHA was ready to contend for the title, while the ECRHA and WCRHL tie was a great game that could have gone either day. Due to this tie, the #2 and #3 seeds would not be determined until the WCRHL's final game against the SECRHL. Going into the game, ECRHA and WCRHL had 11 GA. The WCRHL would have to shut out the SECRHL and score at least 5 goals to become the #2 seed. They did score enough goals, but 2 goals were scored by the SECRHL, giving the ECRHA the #2 seed and the spot in the Championship Game against the GPCIHL The WCRHL will face the MCRHL in the Bronze Medal Game.
